YIPEEEEEEE - The best day I ever had shooting bull elk laying down.The elk were in a little draw with a big ridge on each side and there was enough of a breeze coming down the draw it covered my shutter noise, they were not going to leave the draw because of heavy wind and gusts at 50 mph plus out in the open areas.

Hey Roger,

50 mph winds????? You must have been freezing!!

James

It was cold going to and from the draw but not to bad being in the draw with the bulls.

They look pretty relaxed. It looks like you were using might have been using I right on that? Is this a habituated heard? Or, were you just well hidden?

James

They are not people friendly. The set up was the same as I would of used if I was guiding a archery hunter. Well hidden, down wind & using a very soft calf call.

Sweet. Well done!

James

Great set of images. I bet that was a blast!

YUP!!! you nailed it. It was a lot of fun.
